This is Apartheid. It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide. To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.

It’s Penge’s time to shine! Thank you @babayagashut.bsky.social for doing this, so excited.

Hello have you been to London?

Jack knows

I’ve seen this live a couple of times and it’s fiyaaaaahhhh

You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.

"No to war... and free Palestine" Javier Bardem

I did a pub quiz last night and some of the questions had glaring errors and guess how they wrote the questions.

Every hospital in England has been urged to disobey an NHS directive to use software operated by controversial US analytics software company Palantir www.bmj.com/content/392/...

Never posting normal after posting anti-trans stuff continues to be law

Stop literally everything. Steve Albini's Fugazi sessions, widely bootlegged and full of lore, now available officially for the first time. fugazi.bandcamp.com/album/albini...

genuinely what the fuck is this outfit and why is nobody on the news asking her why she's cutting about dressed like an SS officer

Tory MP Alec Shelbrooke smears @mothinali.bsky.social & Keir Starmer joins in - "We're all shocked by the actions of the deputy leader of the Green Party.. it is important all of us set our face against antisemitism" A reminder that these smears are only to get more intense and hysterical

💯. Banning it for under 16s solves none of this.

Today, US & Israeli forces bombed the Gandhi Children’s Hospital in Iran’s capital of Tehran. Nurses supposedly risked their lives carrying newborns to safety from the rubble. I’m having trouble finding more reporting about this, but here is at least a blurb from Reuters:

🟢 Israel agreed to a “ceasefire” in Gaza on Oct. 10. Since then, Israeli forces have: ➤ Launched 852 airstrikes & artillery attacks ➤ Opened fire on Palestinians 665 times ➤ Committed 1,856 armed violations on the ground 🔴 Israel Killed: ➤ 198 Children ➤ 85 Women ➤ 23 Elderly Citizens 648...

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

RIP to Éliane Radigue (1932-2026) thank you for taking my ears to places beyond... places of suspended time... a huge influence.

I think about this photo of Terry Riley (with Burger King bag in hand) and Big Boi all of the time. It reminds me that there is good and imagination and burgers in this world and that makes me happy.

Chappell Roan is leaving her talent agency led by Casey Wasserman after he appeared in the Epstein files.

“The global publishing platform Substack is generating revenue from newsletters that promote virulent Nazi ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism, a Guardian investigation has found…” www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

Pleased to see the jury make this decision. We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries. People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

liam and his dad are home! and someone please get rep. castro a coat!

When there are nearly no public spaces left that are welcoming to teens you have to love libraries 🥲

Rosalía gives surprise performance at Palestine benefit concert in Barcelona

Watch through. An undocumented person in Minneapolis brought dogs to a shelter after ICE kidnapped their humans, abandoning the dogs in their homes with no humans around.

The government paid PwC £4million quid to deliver an inaccessible vibe coded bookmarks site for courses which already existed. www.mahadk.com/posts/ai-skills-hub

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The Green Party now has over 190,000 members! Membership growth, polling surges, by-election wins and defections... the Green Party is making hope normal again. Join today!

Alt text: An image of a protest sign in Minnesota: the bunny hat worn by the detailed five-year-old with the text, "Don't look away".

taking a break from yelling about the end of the world to plug my silly music shit- I have an album coming out at some point this year on @castlesinspace.bsky.social subscription arm, so there’s that. I’m very proud of it. Anyway back to the Armageddonz

Fun fact: Black Panthers doing perfectly legal (at the time) open carry in CA in the 1960s spurred then-Governor Reagan to sign the Mulford Act into law in 1965, prohibiting it. These people have no consistent politics outside a desperate, leering need to keep hold of power and privilege.

I feel obliged to share this masterpiece from my brother:

I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

Screaming

Can’t think of a better encapsulation of the downstream effects of neoliberalism as an ideology than powerlessness of the state to penalise a billionaire-owned child pornography generator, substituted with a reflexive will to crack down on individual consumers who engage with said generator.

Sangita Myska calls out JKR’s selective “feminism”.

So happy for Wolf Parade to have their moment. And thank you Heated Rivalry for the Canadian 2010s indie revival.

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

Useful reporting from Translucent. When we’ve suggested that trans women don’t pose a risk, people have argued that’s because of under reporting. These FOI requests suggest that might not be the case www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/01/almo...

It's obscene that people are sleeping rough in weather like this. For the next few days we'll donate the proceeds from digital sales of Ad Astra Per Croydon to @sheltercharity.bsky.social It's only £2, so pls consider it even if you've got a copy. And pls repost! colossive.com/product/ad-a...

Waking up to see the Telegraph and GB News are outraged at Decolonise Fest. Sending solidarity and love to a crucial organisation! decolonisefest.co.uk

The New York Times has just confirmed that 40 civilians died in President Trump's invasion. This is the aftermath in one area

They’ve been active participants in and laundered a genocide, demonised asylum seekers, given their support for flag-shagging racists, taken support away from disabled people and are violently transphobic. Happy to help Duncan!

Always good to keep in mind that Guardian has a partnership with OpenAI.

The British press publishes ten transphobic articles a day because it is deeply concerned about violence against women and girls, apparently.

This is how you do it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
